Dr. J Customers, watch the mail and our Facebook Page for a Special Brakes Sales Event

At Dr. J’s Auto Clinic, we want our customers to have the opportunity to feel comfortable in their vehicle. You can leave the repairs and services to our professionals, but please don’t hesitate to ask us questions about why a service is needed or how it occurred. Give us a call at 505-341-4747, and we will be happy to speak with you. Here is some valuable information on brake issues and corrective services Dr. J’s Auto Clinic offers.

Resurface Rotors In a disc brake system, rotors are attached to your vehicle’s wheels. When the brake pads grip the rotor, they bring both the rotor and wheels to a stop. However, the friction causes grooves and cracks to appear over time. Resurfacing brings the rotor back to a “like-new” condition, reducing squealing and wobbling.

Caliper Replacement The brake caliper houses your brake pads and fits around the rotor like a clamp, pressing the pads against the rotor when you brake. A brake caliber problem could cause uneven braking, making your car slide forward when you brake.

Brake Hoses A brake hose is a tube carrying pressurized brake fluid from the master cylinder to the brakes. Brake Fluid Flushes Brake fluid will absorb water from the air over time, causing the brake system to become less effective and the fluid to become corrosive, possibly damaging the system.

Wheel Bearings Wheel bearings are found inside of wheels, allowing the wheels to spin freely, and are connected to the brake system. They can become worn over time, causing a vibrating suspension and noisy rubbing as the car is driven.

Colton Noyes

I was passing through Albuquerque from Oklahoma and decided to stop and get my fluids and tires checked. I went in to see if they did that and a guy said not really, but was more than happy to help me. He added any fluids I was low on and checked my tire pressure. He was down to earth and would not accept any money. It is people like that gentleman that make this world a better place. Very trustworthy shop, would be the only mechanic I would go to if I ever passed through again and was in need.read more
